Kilchoman The Inaugural 100% Islay Limited Edition Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

A special three year old edition matured in a combination of fresh and refill Bourbon barrels. Bottled 2011. One only.

Other reviews... The only Islay distillery not on the coast — and the most westerly on the island — Kilchoman is reviving the tradition of farm distilling, and this limited edition release uses locally grown Optic barley malted at the distillery. Very creamy, with some stewed apple, green banana, and (when diluted) sponge cake mix. The smoke develops on the palate, adding an earthy note. Rich, with some clove and licorice on the finish. Well worth a look. 50% Alc./Vol. 87 points - www.maltadvocate.com, (Vol. 21, #1) Reviewed by Dave Broom

...This is unerringly fine: clean and purposeful and making a very clear and eloquent statement. 91.5 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2012
